Block heater help
 
i got a 77 300d, and i was wondering where i can find a block heater? I have already tried peach parts and it turned out the be the wrong size. if anyone has any ides it would be greatly appreciated.

Get a lower radiator hose heater. Much easier to install than an OE block heater and pretty effective. I've purchased mine on ebay for about $15. By memory the size is 1 1/2. A search on here would confirm the size.

the install isnt a big deal i already got the threaded plug out of the block no problem. i just dont think the hose heater will be as efficient vs a block heater.

You should be able to get a block heater at the dealer.

have already tried that, was told it is an accessory and there is no listing. i have also tried all the local parts stores and no one can come up with anything

Oh it is available in 220V mode but it costs a fortune:-

I have seen a kit for it elsewhere - try contacting this forum's sponsors may be they can help.

Is this the correct one? Or do you need to transfer that fitting from your old one?

No problem. :D

I was just thinking that his new heater might have been the "wrong size" because he didn't account for the fitting.

any idea who sells that adapter

Craig 01-03-2011 04:53 PM
It looks like it comes with the heater, is there one installed on the old heater?

WI_77_300D 01-03-2011 05:38 PM
it never came with a heater. i looked at ************ and they show the adapter as an option.
edit really, no directions to other competing parts sites please.edit
